Welcome to the Transfers Thread

Noticing more and more people are withdrawing from the draft, is anyone expected to withdraw and transfer elsewhere like we saw with McClung and others?

Sounds like something is being teased
Nope, just making a comment about how it is more enjoyable being pleasantly surprised rather than wringing hands at 2nd place. There will be some 2nd places or we are recruiting the wrong players. But some awesome firsts...Kofi, Adam Miller, Andre Curbelo currently and some budding depth or better with Hutch and Grandy...very happy with our current staff. No teaser sorry, those would have been the Henson days for me haha. Sorry /not sorry lol . I...L...L...

Feel like the staff has been very content with our bigs situation at least in the near term. I think they wanted another 2/3 guy given their offer list. Personally, I'd think a guy like that would be a great third wheel or even starter if he can play well along with Kofi and we slide GB to the backup role, but that's just me. Maybe Hawkins will impress early enough that it wont matter.

Not saying it won’t work out, but I’m still concerned about the 4. We have 3 or 4 guys who could step up, but none are a sure thing. I see that as our potential biggest weakness.

Hoping the staff isn’t as concerned because they know they already have the player. We just haven’t seen BBV, Grandison, or Hawkins play.

Yeah, this staff has shown they know how to recruit and address positions of need. I'm going to assume they don't seem desperate to bring in another player because we don't have a gaping hole we need to fill going into this season. That's great news.

Underwood had said in the interview an impact 4 was something where they would take a grad transfer when he was talking about sit out guys. There is no doubt that is a priority, just need someone that fits & quality 4’s that can stretch the floor are hard to come by.

Wow I don’t recall ever hearing of a transfer not being admitted. Seems bizarre especially coming from another BIG school.

So does this mean he is a Boilermaker for life again? Haha
Knock, knock...who's there?...Valpo...lol Or maybe a DePaul future...wierd, sad for the player...but Fichigan...Muck em.

Obviously Michigan didn't have Nojel's Selling and Sales Management major that he had at Purdue.
Maybe it isn't sign of the times that I'm writing this, but it has always bugged me that some on here (any college forum) belittle young athletes college major choices. Who are any of us to judge others on what majors someone you have never met should focus on. When people do this there is an assumption that the student athlete is inherently dumb. My 2 cents

I’m just spitballing here, but I’d imagine that most (99%) of the players do not have the time/energy/capability to be a Div 1 scholarship player AND be a good student with a difficult major.
